Synopsis
Playing in the mirror one night while his parents are on vacation, twelve-year-old Victor Laroche (Tommi Ohrner) glimpses a mysterious man wearing a mask and soon begins to uncover a mystery surrounding the death of a girl named Cecilia who fell over a stair railing in the house 20 years earlier. Although not entirely convinced of his story, Victor's sisters Cora (Carolin Ohrner) and Louise (Evelyn Palek) agree to help him investigate the girl's mysterious death. With the help of an old uncle who was Cecilia's father (Oskar Schwab) and an old friend of Cecilia's (Robert Naegele), the Laroche children piece together the mystery of the death of their cousin, the unknown man in the mirror, and a little leather crocodile they find with strange gleaming eyes.Cast
